"Why do you look so nervous?" Bea grinned at me, nudging my shoulder. "I'm not, you're just being annoying." He scoffed. "Oh, come on, you're so easy to play with." ____________ It's the 1980s a little over twenty years after Martin Luther King's Civil Rights Movement. CNN has just begun, everyone has their cliques, the nerds, the jocks, the emos and the skaters. Bea and Shawn are best friends. They're polar opposites but they're inseparable. Bea is outgoing, funny, and generally happy go lucky. Shawn is quiet, reserved and values his free time. Shawn grew up neglected, with only Bea and his sister, Jamie to rely on. Bea grew up with three older brothers who never missed a chance to make fun of him. He was close to his parents but they always seemed to ignore who he truly was. Bea and Shawn don't have much in common but they value each other and both like to play baseball so that's one thing. Can their relationship last while being watched by the prying eyes of those around them? Or will they crack under the pressure?

How can you be an orphan when your mother still pays for you? This is the painful question sixteen-year-old Vanya asks herself every day. Her mother's monthly visits to the orphanage aren't fueled by love, but by cold, crisp cash, a payment to keep Vanya a secret. Her father's existence is defined by his absolute rejection. Vanya is the childhood that never got to bloom..*The Lost Spring*. But Vanya's greatest pain is also her biggest secret. Her mother's first marriage yielded three handsome, powerful, and successful adult sons who are Vanya's *half-brothers*. They live a life of unquestioned luxury, entirely unaware of the hidden daughter who shares their blood. When a chance encounter shatters the rigid boundary between Vanya's world and theirs, the family's sixteen-year lie begins to crumble. The truth will tear their privileged world apart. But for Vanya, is exposing the secret worth the risk of losing the only family she's ever truly yearned for?
